THE FEARLESS.

There are eleven torpedo tubes, or air guns,
one fitted in the bow, under water, and the
others ranged along the upper deck. When
the gunners are at work they are protected
by shields, revolving with the carriages.
Those working the torpedo tubes are pro-
tected by steel plating in each torpedo port.
Four air COMPRISING engines supply motive
power for the torpedoes. There are two
electric search lights of 10000 candle power.
for use in night service. The Fearless is un-
armored, and her chief strength lies in her
great speed and in the fact that her engines
and boilers, steering arrangements, maga-
zines and other vital parts are placed below
the load water line in watertight compart-
ments. with q protected steel deck.

he gave Mr.. Bush its substance Said Capt.
Bush, in telling the story some years later:
Il at once ran down the main street and into
the hardware store of Erastus Mack. George
Stoll, who was the clerk in the store, at my
request took a rough wooden box cover
which was handy, and made the following
call for volunteers with a marking brush:
Fall I'M Volunteers received here TO

proclamation for the war; l immedi-
ately took the board across the street to
my place of business and nailed it up on the
corner. Then / wrote out the necessary
heading for the enrolment list on sheet of
paper and signed my own name first"
All this occurred within i've minutes after
the dispatch announcing the proclamation
was received. Eighteen men were enrolled
inside of four hours, and within as many DAYS
company of sixty-four men was completed.
Capt. Bush was born in Lockport Aug.
i, 1892 His whole career was eventful. Some
years before the war his brother got into n
row with canal boat captain named Frost.
1t seemed to William that the brother was
likely to suffer severe personal injuries. and
so he ran to his defense. The result was the
death of Frost and the trial on the charge of
murder of the subject of this sketch He was
acquitted, however. -
Capt. Bushs war record was brilliant
one. His personal bravery was remarkable.
He went into the battle of Cedar Mountain
armed only with club, being under arrest :
at that time under some truniped I'M
charge. This led to his court martial, but he I
was honorably acquitted. At this battle
Capt. Bush was wounded in the. left elbow,
and soma time later was taken prisoner and
confined in the Staunton, Va, Jail. From
Staunton he was taken to Libby prison, at /
Richmond, but was afterward exchanged. 9
After his release he was mustered out with q

a sutler in the Shenandoah valley, and en-. 2
tered the employ of the governments as a de-
tective. His health was not good during the

No Place for Drunkards but SheOl.
IBoston Globe. j

boston GlODeJ
Rev. r. J. Barry, in the course of a
sermon at the Church Of the Sacred Heart,
said
You heard last night of the virtue of
temprance, and you considered the place
which will fall to the lot of the virtuous
and temperate. Temperance is the bread
and wisdom of the body. To be truly
good and wise man one must be temperate.
don't wish to speak tonight of the place
which falls to the temperate man, but
rather of the growing crime of intemper-
ance. Notwithstanding the fact that
drunkenness is the curse and worst enemy
of man himself, yet we must admit that
this sin of drunkenness is the growing sin
of the world. There is no nation that it
has not disgraced there is no sanctuary it
has not invaded there is no race, no pOr-
tion of the earth that has not been tainted
at some time by it. 1t is the incubus that
weighs down the laboring man. Intem-
perance is the origin Of every evil 4; 1t is
the parent of every vice, the shipwreck of
purity and chastity. In short, it is root of
all evil. Look wherever you will, be it
among the Sacred Scriptures works of the
writings of antiquity, pagans and Chris
hans, and you will find intemperance alike
condemned. Consumptives never admit
that they are going to die, but on the con-
trary, will tell you that they are going to
recover. My experience among the sick
has taught me this. 1t is the same with
the drunkard. He will never admit that
he takes more than couple of glasses at
the most, never more than he can conven-
iently carry.
There is no place for the drunkard in
the next world but hell. ST. Augustine
says that intemperance is the pit of hell
st. Chrysotom that the drunkard is the
disgrace OF the human race; st. Ambrose
that drunken man is like a marsh or a
swamp, full of toads and frogs, and st.
Bernard that dog is better than drink.

And the fancy made me strong.
Yes. somewhere the wind is blowing,
Though here where l gasp and sigh,
Not breath of air is stlrring,

Somewhere the thing we long for
Exists on earth's wide bound,
Somewhere the sun is shining
When winter nips the ground,
Somewhere the flowers are springi
Somewhere the corn is brown,
And ready unto the harvest
To feed the hungry town.
Somewhere the twilight gathers
And weary men lay by
The burden of the daytime,
And wrapped in slumber lie.
Somewhere the day is breaking,
And gloom and darkness flee;
Though storms our bark are tossing,
There's somewhere a placid sea.
And thus, / thought, it's always,
In this mysterious life,
There's always gladness somewhere
In spite of its pain and strife;
And somewhere the sin and sorrow
OF earth are known no more,
Somewhere our weary spirits
Shall find a peaceful shore.
Somewhere the things that try US
Shall all have passed away,
And doubt and fear no longer
Impede the perfect day.

A DRIBBLE.

A dribble is used to define false try for a
goal. After scoring touch down, the side
which accomplished it has the right to try to
kick goal from point opposite the spot
where a touch down was made and at right
angles to the goal line. To do this to the best
advantage, the ball is generally kicked from
the hand of player who lies fiat upon his
stomach, with the ball held few inches
above the ground. The dribble has recently
been abolished.
A tackle occurs when player, running
with the ball, is caught by an opponent II
he is stopped the opponent calls out, "Held, u
and the man having the ball says "Down. "
The ball is then given to the captain for a
snap back. For the snap back the men face
each other on an imaginary line from the
ball, and, running at right angles to and in
tersecting the boundary line, the captain
holds the ball to the ground with his foot
and hand while he sets it in motion. A fair
is when the ball is caught in the air after
being thrown, kicked or batted by the oppo-
site side, but the player making the fair
catch must at once mark with his heel on
the ground the exact spot where he stood at
the time.
The different points in football are: Goal
obtained by touch down, which scores six
goal by kick from the field, which gives
five; q touch down by which no goal is made,
which counts four, and safety by opponents,
for which two points are allowed.
A touch down is scored when the ball is
carried into the in goal, over the goal line,
and touched down. If the touch down be
made in the players own goal he must send
the ball out by kick out, but if in the goal
of the defense it may be brought and punted
from any point between the touch down and
goal line, the players meanwhile being obliged
to remain at a distance of fifteen feet from
him. A safety occurs when a player guard
ing his goal receives the ball from his own
side by either snap back or pass kick, and
then touches it down or carries it into touch
in goal. AS before explained a safety counts
two, but it is scored against the side max

the bed clothes from the sleepers in an in
slant. The same shock releases the catch on
the trap doors; they rise as the stairs sink to
their places. The men thus suddenly awak-
ened bound from their beds-they sleep
dressed all but boots and hats-go down the
stairs and are on the wagon by the time the
horses are hitched, putting on their outer
clothing as they are whirled through the
streets. In less than one minute from the
first alarm they may be on their way to the
fire, and it takes very few minutes indeed
to make all the difference between saving
and losing millions Of dollars. The scheme
is not only good in itself, but it is character
istic of Chicago.

But in football as played by the college
men, each side is given forty-fve minutes,
and whichever succeeds in scoring the greater
number of points during the time wins the
game. Thus the contest only lasts one hour
and half, with the additional ten minutes
which are allowed for rest. The diagram
which is herewith given will give very good
general idea of how a football field should be
laid out.
Eleven men are allowed ON each side in a
football match. OF these seven are rushers,
two are half back, one quarter back and one
full back. There are several kicks, which are
known respectively as the drop kick" the
"place kick" and the punt" A drop kick is
made ty throwing the ball to the ground
and catching it on the end Of
your shoe as it rises. By this method
the ball may be sent by skillful player to
any part of the field he may wish. A place
kick is where thu ball is simply placed upon
the ground and then kicked. A punt is
effected by allowing the ball to drop from the
hands and kicking it before it strikes the
ground.

THE LATE JUDGE CARTIER.


Death of One of Iincoln's Most Trusted
Advisers.
David h. Cartier, chief justice of the court
of the District of Columbia, died at his resi-
dence in Washington on the evening of April
16, aged nearly IS years. He was the last of
that small circle who were on intimate terms
with Abraham Lincoln and are credited with
doing much to fix the tone of his administra-
tion as far as it was personal. Judge Cartier
had completed twenty-four years of continu-
Gus service as chief justice of the district,
having taken the place early in 1868 by ap-
pointment of President Lincoln. When he
was appointed the courts of the district were
in chaos; he organized good system and
maintained high standard of judicial integ-
rity. He had led the so called "bOlt" in the
Ohio delegation in the Chicago convention of
1860, which resulted in the nomination of
Lincoln, and was a devoted friend and sup
porter of the president to the last. He was
also among the first to take strong ground in
favor of the nomination of Grant, and
throughout the middle part of his life exer-
cised great influence in politics.
David X. Cartier was born June 3D. 1912, in
Jefferson county, N. ", and at a very early
age learned the printing business with Thur

COLUMBIA COLLEGE.
NEW YORK CITY'S HUNDRED YEAR
OLD SCHOOL.

Something About the Institution That
Has Just Celebrated Its Centennial-Its
Earliest and Its Latest Prcsident-Some
of It's buildings.
The stirring scenes and eloquent addresses
at the centennial celebration of Columbia
college, New York city. just past, would have
but a local interest if Columbia itself were
not much more than local institution. But
in its origin and history, still more in its
graduates, it is national; the history of its
development is an epitome of the progress Of
thought in the United States, and among its
first graduates were such men as John Jay
and Alexander Hamilton, whose talents have
left a permanent impress upon the constitu-
ton, finances and political development OF
the United States The centennial of such an
institution, therefore, is matter of national
interest; and right well did the representa-
tives of all sections of the nation join to give
eclat to the occasion. The old college boasts
talent enough among its graduates to adorn
any department of thought, and in the ad
dress of Hon. Stewart L. Woodruff, Of the
graduating class of 1854, and the 'oration Of
Frederic r. Coudert, of the class of 1850,
facts were set forth to make every Colum-
bian proud of his alma mater.
Columbia college is the democratic-repub-
lican offspring of the old Kings college, which
began as plan and an idea in 1908 and took
form as college in 1854. On the 18th Of
July, that year, in the vestry room of Trim
ity church, the first eight students Of the in
stitution first gathered to hear the instruction
of the first president, Dr. Samuel Johnson.
The next year the corner stone of the college
building was laid, and thence to the time Of
the American revolution the growth of the
institution was slow and steady. In 1775
